IPA backs WIPO accessibility work

IPA President, Michiel Kolman, and Vice President, Hugo Setzer, feature in the latest edition of WIPO magazine promoting the Marrakesh Treaty and the work of the Accessible Books Consortium.

The magazine interviews go into more detail than the two videos that were published in February with both Michiel and Hugo sharing the experience of their own publishing companies in signing the ABC charter and shifting to born digital formats as well as their own discoveries of the needs of print-disabled readers.

Both Dr Kolman and Mr Setzer tackle the potential concerns of publishers head on, particularly concerning costs. Both also emphasise the need to keep raising the awareness of the publishing community about the reality of the Marrakesh Treaty and the ABC.
